Didn't Lincoln Riley snatch up Leach's DC from Wash St.?
Dude was taking mostly two star guys and fielding pretty decent defenses. They were arguably the best defenses in the program's history.

Comes down to few things:
Converting 3rd downs offensively. That helps your D
D has to get stops on 3rd down. Get off the field.
Limit big plays
Be good in the trenches
We should be able to convert 3rd downs with the personnel we have
We will be improved on the DL- but middle of the pack in the conference
Big plays and getting off the field are the huge concern because the pass rush will be sub-par, we arent very good and LB and CB, and we have no depth on the back end of our D. We will have to blitz to get pressure- so high risk/high reward. I lean more toward risk because we just arent very good on the back end.
Just ready to kick it off and let's see what happens

Beardo asked a question in the Nabors thread about how many 4 star defensive players Leach had signed -
At Texas Tech, Leach signed 5 4 stars (247) - one each in '02, '03, '04, '05 & '09
At WSU, Leach had 1 4 star on defense - signed in '15
By my count - MSU will have 7 4 star players on Defense this season. That's more than Leach has signed in his entire HC career. That talent is mostly young - with only Kobe Jones and Marquese Spencer being SR - but it is by far the most highly rated defensive roster of his coaching career.
"After dealing with Ole Miss for over a year," he said, "I've learned to expect their leadership to do and say things that the leadership at other Division I schools would never consider doing and to justify their actions by reminding themselves that "We're Ole Miss.""

I believe you are correct sir

I don't think people realize how remote Lubbock and Pullman are....
Add to it that Lubbock was a dry county (the largest by area in the country until 2009), and it's a 30-45 minute drive to the next county.
Pullman is even more remote.

Definitely true about Pullman. It's in the middle of a mountain range in a desert and the closest major city is probably Salt Lake City if I had to guess. If it's Seattle- that's six hours away from there. And there are no good roads to get to Pullman.

I think Boise, ID is closer... by about 30 minutes.

You're probably right. And that kind of makes my point right there too.

I think it makes it stronger. Boise is about the size of Jackson, but over 5 hours away.
